http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40100/apache-license-vs-bsd-vs-mit The BSD license is very, very, very simple, and was largely created in a time when software copyright was not a big issue, and so the legal language is not as finely crafted as it might otherwise be.

However:
Apache: 4 pages, ~1,400 words
BSD: less than 1 page, ~270 words
